Beating Bill Simmons 2008: Week Six

Here’s the Cynical Dad NFL Power Index for Week Six:

1. New York Giants (4-0)
   They’re the defending Super Bowl champions and haven’t lost a game this year. Until they lose, no other team can claim the number one spot.
2. Washington Redskins (4-1)
   It took me four weeks, but I’m finally a believer. But hell, they were blown out by the Panthers in the preseason and only managed 209 yards in their season opener against the Giants.
3. Tennessee Titans (5-0)
   Great defense, but the offense is helmed by Kerry Collins. The other shoe should drop any second now.
4. Dallas Cowboys (4-1)
   I still believe they could’ve beaten the Redskins if they hadn’t abandoned the running game.
5. Carolina Panthers (4-1)
   Yeah, I’m a homer. But had it not been for Delhomme’s fumble against Minnesota, this team would be undefeated right now.

Here are this week’s picks. No commentary due to laziness lack of time. Home teams in CAPS, Bill’s picks in red:

SAINTS (-7) over Raiders
COLTS (-4.5) over Ravens
JETS (-6) over Bengals
Panthers (+1.5) over BUCS
Bears (-2.5) over FALCONS
